Dark knuckles and toe joints happen due to friction, dryness, and sun exposure. The good news: you can make them look brighter, smoother, and more even-toned with a gentle routine—no harsh bleaching needed.
Why Knuckles & Toes Darken
- Friction: shoes, straps, everyday chores rub and thicken skin
- Dryness: dehydrated skin looks dull and patchy
- Sun exposure: tanning and uneven tone on exposed areas
- Post hair-removal sensitivity: can trigger temporary darkening
Safe, Effective Ingredients to Look For
| Ingredient | What it Helps | Example Product |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha Arbutin | Targets the look of dark patches for a more even tone | SACHET Hand & Foot Brightening Cream |
| Niacinamide | Supports barrier and helps reduce dull appearance | SACHET Hand & Foot Brightening Cream |
| Glutathione + Vitamin E | Antioxidant support against environmental stress | SACHET Hand & Foot Brightening Cream |
| Urea/Shea/Glycerin | Softens rough texture; boosts moisture | SACHET Hand & Foot Brightening Scrub |
Avoid: harsh bleaches or over-scrubbing—they can worsen dryness and make the area look darker over time.
The Routine That Works (No Bleach Needed)
- 2–3×/week (PM) – Exfoliate gently: After washing, use SACHET Hand & Foot Brightening Scrub or Hand & Foot Skin Polish. Rinse and pat dry.
- Daily (AM & PM) – Brighten + Moisturize: Apply a pea-sized amount of SACHET Hand & Foot Brightening Cream over knuckles and toes; massage until absorbed. Add a second layer on very dry spots.
- AM – Protect: If hands/feet are exposed outdoors, finish with Mineral Sunscreen SPF 70 (or Aloe Vera Gel Sunscreen).
- Weekly – Overnight softening: After cream, wear thin cotton socks for heel/knuckle softness.
Results Timeline (What to Expect)
| Week 1 | Feels softer and more comfortable |
